01.13.14Professor Jonathan Askin on Narrowing Gap Between U.S./European Education in National Law Journal Op-Ed

What is less well recognized is that these two concepts are interconnected, he notes, and that the gap between the United States and Europe in each is narrowing quickly: “As we move into the 21st century, Europe may leapfrog the United States in both its ability to nurture startups and its ability to train its startup lawyers.”
